Our School Prayer

At St Nicholas we are proud of our School Ethos and our strong Christian Values.The special relationship we have with Rev Marcus is an integral part of our school life, and we love welcoming Mr Rush from Market Overton Free Church. We love his Bible stories and giant fuzzy felts that help us develop our knowledge and love of God. We enjoy a wide range of Worship opportunities in addition to learning about the beliefs and values of others, some of which are similar, and some of which are very different to our own.
